Change Your RapidWeaver Theme’s Default Font

I’ve had a customers ask me over time how to change the global font in RapidWeaver.

Of course you can manually change the font, but you’d have to do it page after page, section after section, sure would be easier to set a new global font if the theme you were using implementing font selections different that the one you wanted.

Fortunately, with some simple CSS that’s not a problem.

Step 1: Locate your Page Inspector (example):

Step 2: Select Header (example) and then CSS:

Step 3: Finally, enter the following code and that should do the trick:

1	* {font-family: arial, tahoma, sans-serif}

You can, of course, change the fonts listed to meet any font you would like (custom fonts will require the importing of font files or linking to the remote font server, such as Google’s Web Fonts). Note that whatever font is on the left will be loaded first and every font to the right is a fallback in case the font does not or cannot load.
